Sheri Kaplowitz, 1967-2008

Sheri Kaplowitz, a.k.a. Tia Cultir, consultant for Lucasfilm, passed away today after a long battle with complications from multiple strokes.

She often couldn't talk much about the work she did for Lucasfilm, due to the incredibly comprehensive non-disclosure agreement. I always envisioned her as part of George Lucas's personal Jedi Council, and for all I know, she was.

Services will be held next Sunday in Boston. Our deepest condolences to her family and friends.

So sorry to hear that, Glenn. I know it looked like early on this was something she could recover from.

Glenn,
Sorry to hear this. She was part of the fabric of the Boston Science fiction community. She also touched the lives of many in my circle.
